"Xiao Li, are you asleep?" Jiang Cheng finally couldn't help but ask.
"No, what's wrong, bro?"
"Maybe I should just sleep on the sofa; I feel really strange."
She remained silent for two minutes, and just as Jiang Cheng was about to get up, she suddenly grabbed his arm.
"No, I'm scared..."
Helpless, he could only lie back down.
"If you really feel awkward, we can chat."
"Okay, what should we talk about?"
"Brother, do you remember when we were little, my parents were very busy, so they sent me to live with my aunt. We slept in the same room back then. You even took me to that old alley to tease cats and dogs."
“I remember,” Jiang Cheng relaxed as he recalled his childhood memories. “There was a very fierce, rascally dog in the old alley. Every time I went to school, it would bark several times, which would scare me.”
"You're so different now than when you were a kid. You were very mischievous back then, but now you're becoming more and more quiet."
"Yes, people change with the passage of time. Like when you were little, you had a runny nose and were as dirty as a mud monkey. I thought you were ugly back then. I never expected you to grow up to be so beautiful."
Jiang Cheng casually sighed.
But the perceptive Xiao Li noticed it immediately.
She remained silent for a while, making Jiang Cheng think that she seemed to be asleep.
In the quiet room, Xiao Li's soft, sweet voice rang out, "Do you think... I'm pretty now?"
Silence fell.
Time seemed to stand still at this moment.
He was stumped and didn't know how to answer.
The moonlight was generous, scattering its brilliance across the sky like ink splashed by a scholar, and slowly descending in pure white.
The curtains on the balcony swayed in the breeze, sometimes opening a small gap.
The soft light fell on Luo Xiaoli's face, making her delicate features exquisite and her face as if they had been carefully sculpted by an artist.
Her flawless skin was as smooth as jade, and her long hair was spread out on the pillow like a flower blooming in the darkness.
Jiang Cheng was mesmerized.
After a long while, he came to his senses and said something in a casual tone.
"Of course it looks good."
Luo Xiaoli did something that he never expected.
Because the bed was very small, the two people were still very close to each other even when they tried their best to move to the side.
At this delicate distance, the girl with impure thoughts suddenly leaned closer, her moist lips near his ear.
She whispered, "Then...does my brother like me because I'm pretty?"
The hot breath hitting his ears sent a tingling, bone-chilling itch through Jiang Cheng, and his heart was suddenly struck.
He felt his mind go blank.
In the dark night, everything vanished into the empty world.
The walls painted in ink, the curtains fluttering in the breeze, the silhouettes of distant skyscrapers, and even the bright moon in the sky.
Only two people remain.
"Then...does my brother like me because I'm pretty?"
Her words echoed and repeated in my mind.
In Jiangcheng, you can smell a pleasant fragrance of young girls.
You can see that she has long eyelashes and eyes that are like stars.
Luo Xiaoli in the night was so charming, like a girl who had stepped out of a comic book and appeared right beside me.
He felt as if he were in a dream.
Jiang Cheng suddenly felt an unbearable itch and an indescribable heat throughout his body.
A fire was rising and expanding in my chest, as if my whole body was about to spontaneously combust.
The burning sensation made him unbearably thirsty.
He reached out towards his back, trying to find the specific itchy spot to scratch.
But because the movement was too large!
With a loud "Bang!"
His elbow slammed into the bedside table!
The sound was so clear in the quiet night.
Then something that was tucked into the bedside table fell to the floor.
"What's missing?"
Jiang Cheng asked a question while he was still in a daze.
He turned on his phone's flashlight with a puzzled look, sat up, and shone it on the thing lying quietly on the floor.
Xiao Li seemed to realize something and suddenly reached out to grab him, "No!"
However, it was too late.
Under the light.
The objects that had fallen to the ground were clearly visible.
It is a book.
The book cover features a handsome man holding a young girl in his arms!
Book Title: My Domineering Brother Fell in Love with Me
Jiang Cheng: "......"
Luo Xiaoli: "..."
The air suddenly became suffocating, and the two of them froze together like statues.
Five minutes passed, feeling as long as an entire season.
Jiang Cheng silently turned around and glanced at Luo Xiaoli.
There was silence between them...
She pulled the space blanket over her face.
I'm so ashamed I can't face anyone!
She even had thoughts of turning into ashes and disappearing from this world...
The relaxed atmosphere created by reminiscing about childhood fun vanished in the blink of an eye.
The atmosphere became even more awkward.
The night passed in silence.
